Probability & Statistics

From weather forecasters to political analyzers, people make predictions by combining what they know about probability and using the information gathered through data analysis. See how experimentation, observation, tree diagrams and the Fundamental Counting Principle can be used to investigate and calculate the outcomes of permutations, combinations and dependent events. Make predictions about trends and data relationships by analyzing data clusters on graphic organizers such as scatter plots and box-and-whisker plots. See how students utilize measures of central tendency like mean, median and mode, recognize outliers and bias found in graphs, and use their math sense to make predictions and solve problems in everyday life.
